Subject: stuffing moves in hashtable

Author: Inmann Werner

Since some time, I do the following.

when I am in the loop in alpha-beta, trying all moves of a position and find a
new bestmove I do not stuff it in the hashtable (what others normally do?). I
look at all moves till all searched or a cutoff occurs. Then I stuff only the
cutoff or best move in the hash.

Difference is, that i only stuff in hash one time and i do not have a "best move
so far" in the hashtable.
In my prog it works some better then the "normal" method.

Has anyone tried this also?
Did I miss something in my idea? (don´t think so, cause it works well..)
